In this study, a BacTiter-Glo™ microbial cell viability kit (Promega Corp., Madison, WI, USA) was used to determine the number of viable bacterial cells in culture, based on quantification of adenosine triphosphates (ATPs).
In the present study using mixed microbial cultures, the biomass growth was assumed to be negligible based on the very low feed concentration of ammonia.
Microbial identification – based on cultures of tracheal aspirates in 82% of patients, cultures of protected specimen brush in 33%, and cultures of bronchoalveolar lavage in 4% – was only available for 131 (54%) patients.
Diagnosis of chronic endometritis is based on hysteroscopy of the uterine cavity, endometrial biopsy with plasma cells being identified histologically, while specific treatment is determined based on microbial culture.
Previously, we described some approaches based on electron microscopy methods to discriminate vegetative, dormant, and dead cells in both aged microbial cultures and environmental samples, including permafrost.
Diagnosis was based on the patient's clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, and CT imaging: thereafter it was confirmed by microbial cultures and other intra-operative findings.
To further highlight this concept, we compared signature enrichment in the 'Sepsis' and 'No Sepsis' groups following further separation based on microbial culture results.
§ 504.2 Fees for deposit and requisition of microbial cultures.
Adding microbial cultures to cooked soybeans results in this dense, chewy cake with a nutty texture.
And because the same diversity of microbial cultures is not available in North America.
